Proverbs 24:1-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

24 Do not envy the wicked,
nor desire to be with them;
²for their minds devise violence,
and their lips talk of mischief.

³By wisdom a house is built,
    and by understanding it is established;
⁴by knowledge the rooms are filled
    with all precious and pleasant riches.
⁵Wise warriors are mightier than strong ones,^[a]
    and those who have knowledge than those who have strength;
⁶for by wise guidance you can wage your war,
    and in abundance of counsellors there is victory.
